CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It was not that long ago that Billy Cundiff kicked a 37-yard field goal to give the Cleveland Browns a two-point victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Since that game two weeks ago, Cundiff has had two big misses in losses against the Buffalo Bills last week and in Sunday's 25-24 loss to Indianapolis.

Cundiff, who has made seven of his last 12 attempts, missed a 37-yard attempt wide right in the first half in Buffalo. It denied the Browns a 6-0 lead. Sunday, Cundiff missed a 40-yard effort wide right in the second quarter. It could have given the Browns a 10-0 lead.

The Browns did try out some kickers last week. More could be on the way.

"It's obviously concerning," coach Mike Pettine said. "We get field goal attempts, we get a chance to put points on the board against a good team and you've got to be able to convert."

Homecoming: Several former Browns were not the only players that returned to Cleveland on Sunday. Jonathan Newsome, a graduate of Glenville High School, is the only true Clevelander on the Colts.

He didn't record any tackles on Sunday, but it did not take away from his joy or the victory.

"It really hit me when we came to town and I saw the St. Clair street sign on our way to the hotel," Newsome said. "It was cool being back in the city, looking into the stands and seeing my friends and family. It was surreal. And coming in here getting the win topped it all off. There's no place like home."

O-H-I-O: Ohio State shocked college football with its blowout victory over Wisconsin on Saturday when former Glenville quarterback Cardale Jones, the Buckeyes' third starting QB this season, led the Buckeyes behind 250 yards and three touchdowns.

Part of the surprise was because it was Jones' first start and only a few expected to see his success.

Newsome played with Jones in high school.

"I knew all about him before everyone else did," Newsome said. "I knew he'd do good just based on what I saw out of him in the ninth grade. The dude is an NFL quarterback. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the NCAA, he just hasn't had his chance yet. But the world saw last night."

Flag: Browns linebacker Paul Kruger appeared to have made a key third-down sack in the third quarter but was flagged for roughing the passer. The drive continued and the Colts cut into the deficit with a 51-yard field goal. It was a crucial penalty.

"I didn't think I hit him with my helmet at all," Kruger said. "I usually try to push the quarterbacks with my hands rather than using my helmet, which is what I thought I did on that play; but I guess not."

T-Rich: Former Browns running back Trent Richardson did not get an opportunity to jump into the Dawg Pound, which was probably a good idea, but he enjoyed his return to Cleveland.

"There were a lot of emotions going into this game," Richardson said. "There was a lot of emotion because you want to be great; you want to be a good player."

The Browns held Richardson to 30 yards on seven carries.

Injury list: Rookie defensive back K'Waun Williams suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter and did not return.
